To that end, JV9 will create urban spaces fused with midori and overflowing with vitality, facilities that serve as a starting point for innovative activities, and places and systems where residents, companies, and various other individuals can take on new activities. In doing so, it will disseminate the vibrant and creative life model known as “Osaka MIDORI LIFE” from Umekita to Kansai and the rest of Japan, as well as overseas. “Osaka MIDORI LIFE” Concept Maremagnum / gettyimages Iosif Budau / 500px / gettyimages Zied Mbarki / EyeEm / gettyimages ■Future Schedule (Planned ) Around Summer 2024: Advance opening (A portion of the private residential area and urban park) Fiscal 2027: Complete opening for Umekita Second Zone ■Official Project Website URL: https://umekita2.jp/ (in Japanese) *1: One member of JV9, Umekita Kaihatsu Tokutei Mokuteki Kaisha, is an SPC funded by Obayashi Corporation. *2: An open space rich in greenery that anyone can easily access. The Umekita Second Zone green space enhances the dignity and appeal of the city and provides an opportunity to elevate Osaka to the level of an international city with a world-class urban space. This will concentrate capital and superior human resources from all over the world and generate creative and transformative change (innovation). Attachment 1. Accessibility One of the most accessible locations in Osaka Umekita Second Zone boasts excellent accessibility from the Kansai region, with access to 7 stations and ◆ 13 lines, including JR Osaka Station. In addition, because it also offers easy access to Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport, and Shin-Osaka Station, which are major domestic and international gateways, there will be an increase in inbound visitors and a further regional development and revitalization, which will attract ever-growing attention both domestically and overseas. Plan for new station to serve as major hub “Umekita (Osaka) Underground Station,” which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2023, will be a new ◆ terminal station connecting major railways in the Kansai region, and trains such as “Kansai-Airport Express Haruka” will make stops there. In particular, access to Kansai International Airport and Shin-Osaka Station will improve dramatically, and with the (planned) opening of the Naniwasuji Line in 2031, accessibility from the Namba area will improve as well. Also, in the future, there are plans for a “Naniwasuji Connection Line (a new line connecting JR “Umekita (Osaka) Underground Station” and Hankyu “Juso Station” )” by Hankyu Corporation. It is also expected that accessibility will be further enhanced by strengthening various transportation functions, such as through plans to construct an interchange on the expressway (Yodogawa-Sagan Route) for automobile use.

  • Kansai Rapid Railway Co., Ltd
    NEWS RELEASE Jun 29, 2021 R&I Affirms AA, Stable: Kansai Rapid Railway Co., Ltd. Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has announced the following: ISSUER: Kansai Rapid Railway Co., Ltd. Issuer Rating: AA, Affirmed Rating Outlook: Stable RATIONALE: Kansai Rapid Railway Co., Ltd. (KRR) is a type III railway company that owns the railway facilities of the JR Tozai Line operated by West Japan Railway Co. (JR West) and leases those facilities to JR West. The JR Tozai Line connects Kyobashi Station (in Osaka City) and Amagasaki Station (in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture), being a key constituent of JR West's rail transport network. Also connecting with other railway lines such as Osaka Metro, the JR Tozai Line is very important. KRR was designated as a principal entity to construct the Naniwasuji Line, which is scheduled to commence service in 2031, and construction work will start in the fiscal year ending March 2022. The Naniwasuji Line connects JR Osaka Station, JR Namba Station, and Shin-Imamiya Station of Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd. When the construction of the Naniwasuji Line is completed, access from the center of Osaka City to Kansai International Airport will be smoother and the north-south railway network will be improved. Construction-related operating cost stands at about 330.0 billion yen and is covered by investments, subsidies and loans. Most of such loans are from fiscal loan funds. Accounting procedures for the JR Tozai Line and the Naniwasuji Line are managed separately.
